PREFACE TO THE  THIRD EDITION.
  Once I was young, but now I am old; and I feel grateful for the great
help which my son, Professor James E. Lilienthal, M.D., afforded me in
publishing the  work.  I am indebted to him for all the repertory work;
and  proof-reading  would have been to us an irksome labor, if the Globe
Printing House did not excel in sending clean proofs, for which they have
our most cordial thanks.  My task is done; and if ever a Fourth Edition
will be necessary, I can leave that work now in conscientious hands.  Take
this Third Edition as the old man's testament to his many students  and
younger colleagues, for your success rejuvenates your old teachers.  Though
three years' faithful work was necessary to collate and critically examine
every symptom, still it can  only be considered as an aid in studying  up a
case.   Perfection is impossible, and such a work can never be expected to
be finished.  It is  for the physicians  to give us clinical reports and verifi-
cations, and it is the duty of the reviewer to sift them carefully, whether he
can accept the  grain of wheat, or throw it aside among the  chaff which
encumbers too much our literature.   Let every man and every woman do
his and her duty, and our Materia Medica will be a pura, free from dross,
and  then  acceptable to  all physicians, so that gradually a work can be
issued worthy to be named
                    homoeopathic  'Ctyerapeufics.

Homeopathic  Therapeutics.
              ABSCESSES, Internal and external.

  Internal abscesses generally require the same remedies as external.
  A preference should be given:
  a. For acute abscesses, to:  1, Bell., Hep., Merc, Sil.;  2, Apis, Ars., Asa.,
Bry., Cepa, Cham., Hep., Lach., Led., Mez., Phos., Puis., Sulph.
  b. For chronic abscesses, whether cold or occasioned by congestions, to:
Asa.,  Aur., Calc, Carb. v.,  Con., Hep., Iod., Laur., Lye, Mang.,  Merc,
Merc,  cor., Nitr. ac, Phos., Sep., Sil., Sulph.
  Further, if there arises on  any internal or external part a painful, red,
inflamed swelling, which may point and form a suppurating swelling, Bell.,
or if this does not succeed in twenty-four  or forty-eight hours, Hep. will
often disperse the whole swelling and keep suppuration off; but when once
matter has  formed, Merc, will bring on  the discharge of the  pus and fre-
quently finish up the case, its chief indication being, that suppuration must
have already taken place.  Should the open wound not heal under the con-
tinuation of Merc, give Hep. or Sil., which are the real specifics against all
benignant or malignant suppurations.  If the abscess looks erysipelatous,
Apis, Bell.; if bluish, Lach.
  Particular indications:
  Angustura.—Abscess of the ankle-joint (Raue).
  Apis mell.—Diffuse inflammation of the cellular tissues, ending in their
destruction;  stinging, burning pains in incipient abscesses.
  Arnica.—Hot,  hard and  shining swelling;  pricking pains and dull
stitches in the part:  general sinking of strength.
  Arsenicum. — Intolerable burning pains  during the fever or when the
abscess threatens to  become  gangrenous; pus copious, bloody, corroding,
ichorous, watery, and of a putrid smell; great debility, muscular prostra-
tion, sleeplessness and restlessness.
  Asafoetida.—Abscesses discharging a colorless, serous pus, or thin, fetid
ichor; violent  pains  on contact, and great  sensitiveness of the adjoining
parts; intermittent pulsations in  the tumor, with darting, tearing  pains,
somewhat relieved by pressure.
  Baryta carb. — Inflammation of the cellular tissue, passing over into
suppuration; incipient suppuration of glands; boils and furuncles.
  Belladonna.—Pressure, burning and stinging in abscess; scarlet red-
ness and hot swelling;  pus  scanty, cheesy and  flocculent, great sensitive-
ness to cold air.  Hepatic abscess, or other glandular abscesses.
  Bryonia. — The tumor is either very red and shining, or very pale ;
pains  tensive, sharp, sticking, lancinating; throbbings in the part; worse
towards evening and  at night, heaviness  and hardness of abscess.
  Calcarea pier.—Constant tendency to form abscesses.
  Calendula.—Induration after surgical operations, followed  by suppu-

ration;  the wound looks raw and inflamed, with stinging pains, followed
by throbbing, as if it would suppurate; profuse and exhausting suppura-
tion in traumatic abscess.
  Chamomilla.—Abscess very hot and painful, with clear,  serous suppu-
ration, not relieved by Ars.
  Cocculus.—Superficial abscess just above root of nail of right little toe,
pain as if a hot iron went into it on raising foot from ground in walking.
  Hepar sulph.—Lacerating and pricking pains in the tumors;  throb-
bing and  beating in  the abscess;  the skin over the abscess is highly  in-
flamed, hard, hot and swelling;  pus scanty, bloody, corroding,  smelling
like old cheese; pains worse at night and by exposure to cold.
  Mercurius.—Slowly suppurating abscesses.  Burning redness of the skin,
with prickling  and tingling sensation;  hard, hot, inflammatory swelling;
pressing from within outward; pulsating pains; pus copious,  bloody, cor-
roding, thin and watery; or all these characters, but scanty.
  Mezereum.—For abscesses  of fibrous  parts or of tendons; or for ab-
scesses arising from the abuse of mercury.
  Phosphorus. — Lymphatic  abscesses,  full  of fistulae;  callous feeling;
hectic fever; pus copious and yellow.
  Pulsatilla.—The abscess bleeds readily, with stinging and cutting pains;
bluish-red swelling (varices) in the surrounding parts, with  itching, sting-
ing and burning pains; abscesses after violent and long-continued inflam-
mations ;  pus bloody or copious, greenish  or yellow.
  Rhus tox.—Abscesses of axillary and parotid glands, swelling painful to
touch, and discharging a bloody-serous pus, with  stinging and  gnawing
pains.  Smooth, red and shining swellings, the inflamed skin being covered
with little painful white vesicles.
  Silicea.—It controls the suppurative process; seeming to mature pro-
cesses when desired, and certainly reducing excessive suppuration to mod-
erate limits.  Pains of abscesses are either burning,  cutting,  itching, prick-
ling or pulsative.  Pus copious  or scanty, bloody brownish, corroding, gela-
tinous, gray or greenish, putrid, thin and watery, or yellow.   After  matter
has been  discharged, it promotes  granulation and cicatrization.
  Sulphur.—Chronic abscess, tendency to suppuration, dependent upon a
psoric or scrofulous diathesis; pains throbbing or stinging, and after evacu-
ation of the pus there is a tendency to ulceration.
  Tarentula cubana.—Abscesses, exceedingly painful and  inflamed, with
tendency to gangrene and affecting  the  neighboring  glands, which  are
swollen, indurated and painful.

                 APPARENT DEATH,  Asphyxia.

  Put a few pellets of the specific remedy on the tongue of the patient, or
administer the medicine by the rectum,  not omitting the required mechan-
ical means of cure; but never resort to bleeding.
  If the asphyxia should have been caused by a blow, fall, etc., give Am.,
especially if the patient has not been bled before; in the contrary case, or
if the patient lost much blood in consequence of the injury, give first Chin.
(according to Hering) and then Arn.
  If arising from suffocation, Hering recommends for those who tried to
kill themselves  by suspension:  Op.; by inhalation of carbonic acid gas:
Op., Aeon., Bell.; and by drowning: Lach.
  For asphyxia from congelation, after the patient has been resuscitated by
usual means, give for the remaining symptoms: Ars., Carb. v., or Aeon., Bry.
  For asphyxia by stroke of lightning, give  Nux v.  The patient should at
the  same time be placed in recently dug soil, half sitting, half lying, and
should  be covered with it  all over except his face, which is  to be turned
towards the sun, until the first signs of life become apparent.
  For asphyxia of newborn infants we use: Ant. tart., Op., Chin., and Aeon.
(according to Hempel).
                             ARSENIC.

  Poisoning by:  Use  the stomach-pump or tube, or empty stomach by
emetics, such as hypodermic solution of apomorphine or give mustard or
sulphate of zinc.  The stomach should  then be washed out by large quan-
tities of water, most conveniently administered  by the pump or tube.  If 
44
HOMOEOPATHIC therapeutics.
the latter is not at hand, give at once dialysed iron or freshly precipitated
hydrated oxide of iron.  Oil, mucilaginous drinks, the whites of eggs, and,
if faintness exists, small doses of stimulants may be given.
   After the alarming symptoms have been removed we give Ipec.   After
Ipec we give Chin., especially when the patient is irritable, has a restless
sleep and nightly febrile motions; or Nux. v. when the patient  is worse in
the daytime, particularly after sleeping, with constipation or with diarrhoeic
slimy stools, or Veratr., if after Ipec. frequent nausea remains, with vomiting
and heat, or chilliness over the whole body, and  great debility.
   For the eruptions of the forehead, ophthalmia, and headache caused by
wearing hats that have been worked with arsenic, the best remedies are: 1,
Carb. v., Fer.;  2, Chin., Hep.
   The best remedies for the ill effects of arsenic as a medicine are:  Chin.,
Ipec, Nux v., Veratr.

of the diseases under  rheumatism, gout, neuralgia, etc., we here point out
more particularly the  parts to which  the remedies have specific curative
relations.  This knowledge is not required in every case, but in many cases
it is, since two or three remedies may correspond to the general state of the
patient, and one of them only to the part affected.

Kreos.,  Lach., Magn., Rhus, Sapo., Stram., Urt. ur.  Relief may be obtained
by covering the burnt surface (first three degrees) with linen rags soaked
in a saturated solution of Alumen or of bicarbonate of soda, and the air
kept off by allowing the linen to remain in close contact with the burn and
keeping it wet with the solution.   When blisters form, the water ought to
be removed by puncture and care taken to preserve the skin; Hering re-
commends for such burns and scalds Canth. internally, and  as a lotion  a
few drops of the tincture in water, externally.  For burns of the third and
fourth degree castile soap, internally the sixth, and externally linimentum
saponis (olive oil and soap, or glycerine and soap) are recommended.  For
deep burns over large surfaces Hebra's continuous thermic water-bath can-
not be too highly recommended, where large surfaces are affected.

                  DRUNKARDS, DISEASES OF.

  Bcenninghausen recommends  a  few drops of tinctura Opii in a cup  of
coffee for habitual drunkenness,  and  Ant. crud.  as  the best antidote
for the effects of sour wine.   Lyons gives ten  drops  of tinctura Capsici
for dipsomania shortly before meals,  or whenever depression or  craving
for alcohol arises.  It obviates the morning vomiting, removes the sinking
at the pit of the stomach, the intense craving for stimulants, and promotes
appetite and digestion.  We consider them more reliable for  that purpose
than the fluid extracts of Avenna sativa, or of Erythroxylon coca.

                 MERCURY, ILL EFFECTS OF.

  Poisoning with corrosive sublimate  requires  (according to Hering): 1,
albumen, dissolved in water, as a drink;  2, sugar-water ; 3, milk;  4, starch,
mixed with water, or bookbinder's paste.  Albumen and sugar-water are the
principal remedies, which may be used in alternation.
  Secondary affections require the usual antidotes for the  drug symptoms
of  mercury,  the principal  of which  is  Hep., in  water,  a teaspoonful
night and morning, especially for headache at night, falling off of the  hair,
painful nodes on the head; inflamed red eyes, with painful sensitiveness of
the nose when pressing upon it; scurfs around the mouth ;  ptyalisnr and
ulcerated gums ;  swelling of the tonsils and  cervical  glands ;  swelling  and
ulceration of the inguinal and  axillary glands;  diarrhoeic stools,  with
tenesmus; inflammation of the skin, and disposition to ulcerate, etc.
  After Hep. give Bell., or Nitr.  ac.  If symptoms remain after  Nitr. ac.
give a dose of Sulph., for one or two weeks; after Sulph., Calc. carb. does
good service.
  The ill effects  of mercury and sulphur together require : Bell.,  Puis., or
even Mere

        OPIUM AND LAUDANUM, ILL EFFECTS OF.

  The best remedy  for poisoning  with  large doses  is: black coffee, or
vinegar;  also Picrotoxin, by stimulating the respiratory centre and  vascular
contraction, or Atropin.  Both  may be applied subcutaneously.  If consci-
ousness should have returned, a few doses of Ipec.  will be found  very
useful.  If any ailments should remain  after Ipec, give Nux v., Merc, or
Bell.  The last-mentioned  remedies are excellent antidotes against  the
drug-symptoms occasioned by  the medicinal abuse of opium.
  For ill effects of habitual opium-eating, or  habitual hypodermic injec-
tions of morphine: Macrotin, one grain, every two hours, Mosch. to prevent
collapse, and finally  Coff. in a  higher dilution.

  Blyth (Poisons, their Effects and Detection, II, 634): Empty stomach by
tube or pump, and at the  same time wash the stomach out with water to
which  has been  added a drachm of French turpentine, or give an emetic of
sulphate of copper, four or five grains dissolved  in water and given every
ten minutes till  vomiting is produced.  Sulphate of zinc or mustard may
be employed instead.  Give half-drachms  of French turpentine, floating on
water  or on  mucilage, every half hour.   Inhalations of turpentine vapor,
much  diluted,  are also of service.  Probably the turpentine will  freely
purge the patient; if not, give a purgative, as magnesia sulphate.

nia occurring in psoric patients, and which threatens to terminate in tuber-
colosis pulmonum, or in phthisis pituitosa.  Pneumonia passing through
its first  stages normally and then remains stationary ; such a deficiency of
reaction points  to  Sulph. as the remedy, where it accomplishes the absorp-
tion of the infiltration and prevents suppuration, when there are no typhoid
symptoms and  no  tendency to phthisis pulmonum ;  bronchial respiration
and hepatization most plainly heard on back.  Pneumonia  in infants and

                         POISON," ADIPIC.

  This  dreadful poison sometimes develops itself in badly-kept sausages
or other pork.   According to Hering, a beverage  composed of equal por-
tions of vinegar and water, to be taken in  large quantities, is the best anti-
dote.  It may likewise be employed as a wash or gargle.
   Instead of vinegar, lemon-juice may be employed ; and, if the patient
should  desire,  these acids may be used alternately with sugar, black coffee,
or fresh black tea.
   If the dryness of the throat should continue after using these remedies,
and if  even  slimy injection  should not procure an evacuation from the
bowels, give  Bry., and continue it as long as the symptoms continue to be
unfavorable.
   The ailments which remain after Bry. sometimes yield to Phos. ac.; and,
if paralysis or consumption should set in, give Ars.  or Kreos.

              POISONS  AND  THEIR ANTIDOTES.
  Vegetable  acids, including Oxalic acid:   1, the stomach-pump  must
never be used;   2,  free administration of  chalk or magnesia, held in sus-

pension by a very small quantity of fluid, as milk or other mucilaginous
drinks ; 3, after thus neutralizing  the  acid  an emetic, if there was not
already vomiting.
  Poisoning by Alcohol:  the stomach should first be emptied by a mustard
emetic, administered by the stomach-pump if necessary; cold water may
be dashed  against the breast and spine and applied to the  head, while
various mechanical expedients  should be employed  to keep  the patient
awake.  A few drops  of aqua ammoniae instilled into the throat, or held
under the patient's nostrils, will suffice to terminate the attack.  Actual
intoxication may be often arrested by a cup of strong coffee.   Liquor am-
monia? acetatis (^ to 1 ounce diluted with sweetened water) frequently dis-
sipates at  once the signs of drunkenness.
  Poisoning by Alkalies:  vinegar unites with  them, and forming innocuous
acetates arrests their corrosive action.
  Poisoning by Ammonia: in fresh cases stomach-pump ; any mild vegetable
acid (wine-vinegar, lemon-juice) may be employed for neutralization; the
local irritant effects require demulcent and  protective  remedies, as fatty
emulsions, ice-pills.
  Poisoning by Antimony: 1, induce vomiting by draughts of hot water or
milk, by tickling throat, by stomach-pump, or apomorphine; 2, as antidote
any liquid containing tannin, as Peruvian bark, oak bark, nut-galls, strong
tea; 3, when stomach is rid of the poison,  give strong pure coffee  and
opium to  allay the vomiting.
  Poisoning by Arsenic : if taken on a full stomach, vomiting  sets in spon-
taneously ; if on an empty  stomach give an emetic  of sulphate of zinc or
mustard and tickle the throat with a feather.  Antidote:  Ferrum hydricum
in aqua, quarter to half hour, two to four tablespoonfuls; Ferrum oxyda-
tum saccharatum soluble in teaspoonful doses; freshly prepared Magnesia
usta and hydrated Peroxyd of iron.  As the kidneys are the great excretors
of the poison, give for the suppression of urine sweet spirits of nitre in large
quantities of water and castor oil to expel the arsenious acid from the in-
testines ; the tendency to collapse  must be  counteracted by  hot bottles,
bricks, etc., to limbs and back. In chronic arsenical poisoning:  Ipecacuanha
for the nausea; and when  choleraic, Veratrum album ; China for the neu-
ralgia, debility, dropsy; Graphites for the skin symptoms.
  Poisoning by Atropine or Belladonna: 1, emetic or stomach-pump;  2,
antidote:  Physostigma  (Eserin), Pilocarpin,  Morphium, in hypodermic
injections.  After improvement sets in a strong cup of coffee and  a dose of
castor oil.
  Poisoning by Bromine: Aqua Ammoniae;  there is  no specific antidote
known.
  Poisoning by Calabar-bean (Physostigma) :  1, emetics or stomach-pump;
2, 3V of a grain of Atropia  hypodermically, gradually increasing  the dose
until  dilatation of the pupil is  induced; chloral, if administered within  a
very few minutes after the bean;  morphia; ether.
  Poisoning by Camphor: emetics, followed by a full dose of castor oil;  2,
Amyl nitr., alcohol, ether.
  Poisoning by Cantharides: promote vomiting by Ipecacuanha or mustard
with  copious draughts of thick, warm fluids of a mucilaginous  character.
All oily substances should  be avoided  as favoring the solution and conse-
quently the absorption of the  poison ;  a warm bath is often very comfort-
ing.  Antidotes:  Aeon., Camph., Kali nitr., Laur., Puis.
  Poisoning by Carbolic acid: Emetic of mustard or sulphate of zinc, albu-
men of uncooked eggs ad libitum, and collapse be treated  by hypodermics 
880
HOMOEOPATHIC THERAPEUTICS.
of stimulants.   Castor oil or olive oil with Magnesia or Natrum sulph. in
suspension.
  Poisoning by Carbonic acid :  1, fresh air, and when possible the inhalation
of a small quantity (2 quarts) of pure oxygen.  Cold douche, galvanism,
artificial respiration, friction, even a moderate venesection may be  allow-
able; strong infusion of coffee may be injected into rectum.  For the after-
effects: Amm. carb., Arn., Bov., Op.
  Poisoning by Chloral:  1, emetics or  stomach-pump; 2, free administra-
tion of tea, coffee  or weak rum;  3, restore respiration by galvanism,  fric-
tion, flagellation.   Strychnia is also recommended as antidote; also Nitrate
of Amyl.
  Poisoning by Chlorine : patient must be brought at once into the fresh air
and made to  breathe ammonia or very diluted sulphuretted hydrogen or
ether vapor.   The inhalation of steam is also beneficial.
  Poisoning by Chloroform : when liquid has been taken, the stomach-pump
should be used at once.  In  poisoning by the vapor: cold  douche, fresh
air, vinegar, galvanism, artificial respiration, application of ammonia to  nos-
trils, hypodermics of strychnine.   See that the tongue is kept well forward,
so that nothing may interfere with free access of air to lungs, and avoid
giving liquids till patient has  fairly recovered.
  Poisoning by Conium :  emetics of sulphate of zinc, of mustard  or the
stomach-pump, followed by  castor oil.   Stimulants  and  external heat.
Strychnine hypodermics in minute doses.
  Poisoning by Hydrocyanic  acid: Dash cold water instantly  upon face,
head and back, though patient may be convulsed, followed by rubbing the
skin till it is warm and dry. . Repeat process when  necessary;  2, artificial
respiration, even  simultaneously with the  cold douche; 3, Ammonia to
nostrils, but not too strong; 4, hold a little chloride  of lime  mixed with a
little water before mouth and  nostril;  5, chemical antidote  a mixture of
proto- and persulphate of iron in combination with a  little  caustic  alkali,
  orming the harmless potassic ferrocyanide.
   Poisoning by Digitalis: emetics or stomach-pump  ; free use of coffee and
tea, stimulants ; galvanism to cardiac  region; the patient must lie  in the
recumbent position and must not be allowed to rise up in bed till eight or
ten days  have passed.
   Poisoning by Hydrosulphuric acid: Chlorinated lime, as a  chemical anti-
dote, decomposing it;  fresh air;  artificial respiration.
   Poisoning by Hyoscyamus: evacuate stomach, apply warmth to extremi-
ties and cold to head; stimulants ; hypodermics  of  morphia in small  and
repeated  doses.
   Poisoning by Iodum:  free vomiting should be encouraged as long as the
liquid  rejected tinges blue a solution  of starch ;  free  administration  of
farinaceous food,  wheaten flour, or starch  mixed with tepid  water.  A
solution of bicarbonate of soda may be given as a chemical antidote.
   Poisoning by Lead: for acute poisoning give soluble alkaline and  earthy
sulphates, especially sulphate of Magnesia in milk with  eggs, after  having
induced free vomiting with warm water or sulphate of zinc. For chronic
poisoning give sulphur-baths  (sulphur springs) and Kali iod. five grains a
day.  For the dropped hand  constant exercise in the  open air  (send  your
patients to the springs, and let them enjoy a  generous, easily digested diet) ;
electricity is here a great aid.   For the lead  colic Epsom salts will  always
remain a favorite remedy for  its prevention or  cure.   Try  for the latter,
Alum., Ars., Bell., Nux v., Op., Plat., Pod.
   Poisoning by Lime :  vinegar, forming innocuous acetates. 
POISONS  AND THEIR  ANTIDOTES.                  881
  Poisoning by Lobelia: immediately vomiting and stimulants,.in order to
prevent the depressing effects of the drug.
  Poisoning by Mercury: 1, acute from corrosivus:  albumen, powders of
iron, narcotica; 2, chronic: warm baths, Kali iod.; pilocarpine, good nour-
ishment, electricity.
  Poisoning by Muriatic acid: Magnesia, soap, bicarbonate of soda, albumen.
  Poisoning by Nicotin:  1, acute: stimulants; 2, chronic:  nervous symp-
toms of heart, nicotin-tabes of cigarmakers, amblyopia: stop the use of to-
bacco in every shape and try Plantago to eradicate the taste for it.
  Poisoning by Nitrate of Silver: common salt,  largely diluted, so as to
decompose the nitrate and induce vomiting; the resulting irritation may
be  allayed by milk, which  should also  serve as food till the stomach is
restored.
  Poisoning by Nitrobenzole:  stomach-pump;  artificial respiration; irri-
tantia;  carbonate of ammonia, electricity, hot bath and simultaneously cold
douche upon head and spine; frictions of skin; transfusion of blood.  The
same treatment after poisoning with aniline and aniline colors.
  Poisoning by Nitric  acid:  stomach-pump dangerous  on  account of per-
foration.  Magnesia usta, several  teaspoonfuls in water, or Natrum carb. in
much  mucilaginous drinks.  Later ice-pills, analeptica, thymol and care-
ful feeding with milk,  eggs, etc.   For the remaining stricture of oesophagus
dilatation with the sound becomes necessary.
  Poisoning by  Opium or Morphine:  acute: infuse  with  stomach-pump
vinegar, strong coffee,  strong tea  (tannin) or water, in which a quantity of
finely-powdered  charcoal is suspended;  vomiting with sulphate of zinc
(forming the  somewhat insoluble  salt of meconate  of zinc), repeated at
short intervals, if necessary; followed by a free calomel purge; artificial
respiration; patient should never be allowed to sleep, and ought to be kept
on  the move without wearing  him  out; thirst may be quenched with cold
coffee or tea and off and on a cold affusion may be  advisable.   Chronic
morphinism ought to be treated in asylums erected for that purpose.
   Poisoning by Oxalic  acid : never use a stomach-pump ; powdered chalk,
mixed  with water; slacked  lime, as  dried whitewash (scrape the ceiling
and administer the scrapings, if you can get nothing else) ; magnesia.
  Poisoning by Phosphorus: with any soluble salt of copper Phosphorus
forms a non-poisonous black phosphide, and as sulphate of copper is also a
good emetic, it is especially available where the poison has been taken by
the stomach  and when the antidote can be given soon afterwards.   Try
also  non-rectified oil of turpentine in a mucilaginous vehicle  (30 to 40
dropsj; if  it cannot be retained by the stomach, it may be thrown into the
rectum ; the air  of the sick-room may be saturated with the fumes of the
oil.  All oily, fatty  and albuminous substances must be  withheld, as
phosphorus is soluble in them.   Animal  charcoal has also been recom-
mended from its power of absorbing  free phosphorus.  In extreme cases
life may be prolonged by transfusion.  Oxygenated water  by the  stomach
and inhalation of oxygen gas act  as antidotes, by converting phosphorus
into hypophosphorous and phosphoric acid, which are comparatively inert.
   Poisoning by Secale:  1, acute: emetics and  purgatives; tannin; ether,
camphor, black coffee;  2, chronic : according as  it attacks  nervous system
or  causes gangrene.
   Poisoning  by  Solanin: emetics, stomach-pump ; tea, coffee, stimulants.
   Poisoning by Stramonium: emetics, stomach-pump, castor oil; brain symp-
toms according to indications.
   Poisoning  by Serpents: alcohol may be used  to sustain life until the 
882                  HOMOEOPATHIC THERAPEUTICS.
elimination of the poison can be accomplished.  Free excision of the part
to prevent absorption of the virus; long-continued and frequently repeated
suction by the mouth; solutio fowleri two drops every half hour  and re-
peated for four hours.
  Poisoning by Strychnia:  free vomiting by mustard and warm water or
hypodermic injection of one-third of a grain of apomorphia, after which
the bowels should be purged with castor oil or a saline purgative; artificial
respiration when asphyxia threatens.  As mechanical antidotes to retard
the absorption of the poison, lard, sweet oil or milk may be given before
the spasmodic action becomes developed; chloral counteracts the effects of
strychnia or bromide of  potassium.   Calabar-bean and  strychnia are
antagonistic, but exhaustion must be  prevented by the free use of stimu-
lants ;  four cases are recorded  where Veratrum vir. and tobacco have saved
life. Paraldehyde antidotes it also.
  Poisoning by  Sulphuric acid : chalk, magnesia, carbonate of magnesia,
and the alkaline  carbonates.
  Poisoning by Tartarus emet.: the stomach must be emptied as soon as
possible by large draughts of tepid water containing or followed by vege-
table astringents, as green  tea, galls, tannic  acid, etc   Its constitutional
sequelae may be moderated by stimulants.
  White of an  egg, dissolved in a sufficient quantity of water, and used
as a drink, especially for:  metallic substances, such  as quicksilver, corro-
sive sublimate, verdigris, tin, lead and sulphuric acid;  when  the  patient
complains of violent pains in the stomach or abdomen, with tenesmus, or
diarrhoea, and pains at the anus.
  Vinegar.—Antidotes  poisoning with alkaline substances, but is  hurtful
in cases of poisoning with  mineral acids, corrosive vegetable  substances,
arsenic, and a large quantity of salts.  In many cases it removes  the ill-
effects  of Aconite, Opium,  narcotic substances, poisonous mushrooms, Belladonna,
carbonic acid gas, Hepar sulph.,  poisonous mussels, and fish, and even of adipic
acid. The vinegar may be drunk or administered by the rectum, alternately
with mucilaginous substances.  The vinegar should be as pure as possible.
Crab vinegar is of itself poisonous.
  Coffee.—Strong black  coffee, the beans being little roasted, and drunk as
hot as  possible.   Indispensable for a large number of poisons, especially
when causing drowsiness, intoxication, loss of consciousness, or mental de-
rangement, delirium, etc, in general antidoting narcotic substances, such
as  Opium, Nux  vomica,  Belladonna, narcotic  mushrooms, poisonous  sumach,
bitter almonds, prussic acid,  and  all those substances containing it: Bell,
Coloc,  Val, Cic, and Cham.  In case of poisoning with  antimony, phosphor
and phosphoric acid, coffee  is no less indispensable.
  Camphor.—Principal antidote of  all vegetable substances, especially
such as have a  corrosive effect, or when vomiting and diarrhoea, pale face,
cold extremities and loss of  consciousness are present.   Camphor is a specific
remedy for the ill effects of poisonous insects, especially cantharides, whether
administered internally or  externally.   Likewise for the effects of so-called
worm-medicines, tobacco,  bitter almonds, and other fruits containing prussic
acid.   It  is likewise useful for the secondary  affections remaining after
poisoning with  acids, salts, metals, phosphorus, poisonous mushrooms, etc.,
after the poisonous substance itself has been removed from the stomach by
means  of vomiting, etc.
  Milk.—Less useful than is  supposed.   To procure an artificial covering
or  envelope for  the poison, mucilaginous substances are to be preferred.
Fat milk (or cream) is suitable  in all cases where oil is useful, and injurious 
POISONS AND  THEIR ANTIDOTES.

where oil also would be hurtful.  Curdled or sour milk is suitable or not
suitable in all cases where vinegar is or is not.
  Olive  oil.—Less useful than is  believed.  It is  of no use in cases  of
metallic poisoning, and  even hurtful in cases of poisoning with arsenic.   It
is very bad for the ill effects of Canth.  This remark applies  to poisoning
with any  other insect, or if the poison should have got into one's eye.  Oil
may be used to facilitate the extraction of insects from the ear in case they
should have got into it  Oil is  most suitable for poisoning with corrosive
acids,  such as nitric  acid,  sulphuric  acid, etc.   It is sometimes  useful  in
cases of poisoning with  alkalies, to be  administered  alternately with vine-
gar, and in cases of poisoning with mushrooms.
  Mucilaginous  substances.—Drinks  or  injections  of  mucilaginous
substances should be resorted to in cases of poisoning with alkalies, especi-
ally when administered alternately with vinegar.
  Soap.—Common  castile  soap, dissolved  in  four times  its bulk of hot
water, and drunk, is one of the best remedies in many cases  of  poisoning.
It may be drunk by the cupful; a cupful every two, three, or four minutes,
in all cases where the white of  an egg is  indicated, but does not produce
sufficient relief.  Soap is particularly useful in all cases of poisoning with
metallic  substances, especially  arsenic, lead,  etc.  Likewise  for poisoning
with  corrosive acids, such as  sulphuric  acid, nitric  acid, etc.; with alum,
corrosive  vegetable substances, etc.   Soap is hurtful  in cases  of poisoning
with  alkalies,  such  as lye, nitrate  of  silver,  potash, soda, oleum  tartari,
ammonium muriaticum (salmiac), ammonium carbonicum, caustic, or burnt
lime, barytes, etc.
  Sugar, or sugar-water,  one of the best remedies in many cases.   In case
of poisoning with mineral  acids or alkalies,  it is best to resort at once to the
specific antidote, though sugar is not hurtful.   In case of poisoning with
metallic substances, various kinds of verdigris, copper, sulphate  of copper,
alum, etc., sugar is  preferable to every other remedy, and  not till  the pa-
tient has  been  relieved  by the sugar, administer the white of an egg or soap-
water alternately with sugar.  Sugar is likewise an excellent antidote  in
cases of poisoning with arsenic, or corrosive vegetable substances.
  The first thing we have  to do, in treating a  case of poisoning, is to  re-
move the poison by vomiting, and then to administer suitable antidotes.
  If we should not be able to  ascertain what  kind of  poison had been
swallowed, we  should first administer the  white of  an egg;  and, if there
should be stupefaction, coffee.
  If we should know that  the poison is:
  a. A metallic substance, we have  to give : first, the white of an egg, sugar-
water, soap-water,  and afterwards, for the remaining ailments, Sulph., which
is a real antidote to metals.
  b.  If acids and corrosive substances, give: 1, soap-water;  2,  magnesia, dis-
solved in water; 3,  chalk-water; 4,  alkalies or potash,  dissolved  in wrater,
taking a tablespoonful as long as the vomiting continues.   Afterwards mu-
cilaginous drinks, and alternately Coff. and Op. as homoeopathic antidotes.
  As  regards the remaining  ailments, give Puis, for sulphuric  acid; Bry.
for  muriatic acid;  Aeon,  for  the other acids, and  especially  crab-apple
vinegar.   If the  skin should have  been corroded by poisons, apply soap-
water  or  a watery solution of Caust.; and, if  corrosive substances should
have got into the eyes, apply sweet almond oil or fresh unsalted butter.
  c For alkaline substances: 1, vinegar and water, in  large  quantities;  2,
lemon-juice, or  acids  from  other fruits, diluted  with much  water; 3, sour
milk; 4, mucilaginous drinks, or injections.   Vinegar  is hurtful in  cases of 
884
HOMOEOPATHIC THERAPEUTICS.
 poisoning with  barytes; but Epsom salt, dissolved in water, renders good
 service; afterwards: Camph. or Nitr. s. d.  The secondary effects of poison-
 ing with potash require Coff or Carb. v.; and those of poisoning with spirits
 of ammonia, Hep.
   d.  For the inhalation of noxious vapors, sprinkle the patient with vinegar
 and water, or let him inhale  the vapors of a solution of Chlor.; afterwards,
 after the return of consciousness, give black coffee, or a few doses of  Op. or
 Bell.  (See Vapors.)
   e. For vegetable  poisons : 1,  camphor, by olfaction, or sometimes a drop of
 the spirits of camphor on sugar; 2, black coffee or vinegar, especially for nar-
. cotic vegetable juices.   The best antidotes for corrosive vegetable juices are
 soap-water and milk.
   /. For animal poisons, see the  single poisons, such as cantharides, adipic
 poison, stings of insects, fish poison, poisonous honey, etc.  For toad poison,
 or similar poisons,  if they should have got into the stomach, give powdered
 charcoal, stirred up with  oil or milk; or let the patient smell of the sweet
 spirits of nitre, if bad symptoms should set in, and afterwards give Ars.  If
 a poison of this kind should have got into the eye, give Aeon.
   As  regards the wounds or bites inflicted  by poisonous animals, Hering
 proposes the following  mode of treatment:  For the  bites of poisonous ser-
 pents, mad dogs, or other poisonous animals, apply heat  at a distance, for
 which purpose anything may be used which is handy at the time; a red-hot
 iron, incandescent  piece of coal, or  even  a burning cigar; hold this as near
 as possible without burning the skin.  The heat should be kept up uni-
 formly,  and should be concentrated upon the wound exclusively.  The
 edges of the wound should be covered over with  oil or fat, and this should
 be repeated as often as  the  skin gets dry.  If no  oil or fat can be  had, use
 soap, or  even saliva.  Wipe off carefully everything wiiich is discharged
 from the wound.   Continue the application of heat until the patient feels
 chilly and stretches himself; if this should take place too speedily, con-
 tinue  to apply the  heat for an hour, or until the effects of the poison com-
 mence to disappear.
   At  the same time administer internal remedies.  In the case  of a ser-
 pents bite, give the patient a  swallow of salt-water from time to time, or a
 pinch of salt or powder, or a few pieces of garlic.
   If, nevertheless,  dangerous symptoms should set in, give a tablespoonful
 of wine or brandy every two or three minutes; continue this until the
 symptoms abate, and repeat the brandy at every  return of a paroxysm.
   If the stitching pains should increase in violence, and be felt  near the
 heart; if the wound, at the same  time, should be bluish,  checkered like
 marble and swollen, with vomiting, vertigo and diarrhoea, give Ars.30, and
 another dose in half an hour, if the symptoms should continue to get worse,
 or only  in three hours, if they should remain unchanged;  if an improve-
 ment should set in after the first dose, do not  repeat the medicine  until the
 symptoms get worse again.
   If Ars., even if repeated, should have no  effect,  give Bell.  In some cases
 Seneg. may be tried.  The chronic sequelae of the bite of a  serpent require
 Phos. ac. and Mere
  _ If the bite  should have been inflicted by a mad dog, apply heat at a
 distance, as above,  and, for the remaining treatment, see Hydrophobia.
   If the bite should proceed from a man or animal which is not mad, but
 furious,  give Hydrophobim, which  is recommended by Hering.
   Wounds which have become poisonous in consequence of decayed animal
 matter or pus having got into them require Ars.

  To  guard against unpleasant consequences in case wre should have to
touch decayed animal substances, poisonous wrounds or ulcers, or men and
animals infected with  contagious diseases, wre should  hold our hands for
ten or fifteen minutes near as  strong heat as can be borne, and afterwards
wash  them with soap.  The use of Chlorof. in such cases is well known.

 terwards mucilaginous drinks in large quantity.
   Secondary ailments require:  Nitr. s. d., Coff, Nux v.

   Amm., Bell., Cham., Lye, Merc, Sulph.

                          SCABIES, Itch.

   For dry itch, Merc, and Sulph. alternately every four, six or eight  days,
 until an improvement  takes place or the  symptoms change; these new
 symptoms generally indicate Carb. v. or Hep., provided it  is dry itch, or
 Caust. if a few pustules should have supervened.  Symptoms remaining
 often yield to Sep. or Veratr.
   For pustular  itch give Sulph. and Lye  alternately as  above. When
 the itch becomes more dry, give Carb. v. or Merc.  Give Caust. once a day
 where Sulph.  and Lye remain without effect, and where this also fails resort
 to Mere, a dose every forty-eight hours.  Ulcers indicate Clem, or Rhus,
 and where the pustules  change to large vesicles of a yellowish or bluish
 color, give Lach.  Thus teaches Jahr.
   Jousset believes only in parasiticidal treatment, orders general friction of
 the body with green soap for half an hour (pumice or sand-soap),  a hot
 bath for an hour, and then general friction with ointment of lard 300 grms.,
 flores sulph. 50 grms., subcarb.  of potash, 25 grms.
   Hering finds for the itch a successful practice of sleeping with the  twigs
 of the poplar (populus balsamifera) in  the bed.  The buds are resinous and
 kill  the acari  as surely as the pyrethrum kills bedbugs, or borax the  cock-
 roaches.  Oil  of lavender kills the insects and their ova.  Balsam of  Peru,
 if genuine, stirred in water, and the clearer portion used as a bath, is next
 best; also tolu balsam or Petrol. This destruction of the  acari never de-
 veloped any bad symptoms whatever.
  At the Vienna Hospital the patient is rubbed all over with soft soap for
 half an hour, takes then a tepid bath for another  half hour, is dried, and
 when in bed rubbed all over with a solution of two parts styrax to one of
 glycerin, packed, left for several  hours in his pack, takes then another tepid
 bath, and after a few such procedures is discharged.
  Others prefer unguentum staphisagria, 4 grms. to 30 fat.

   Hering proposes:
   To counteract sulphuretted hydrogen:  1,  sprinkling with  water and
vinegar, which should at the same time be held under the patient's nose
to inhale the vapor;  2, chlorine-water, when the patient shows signs of life,
after having been apparently dead ;  a few drops may be given internally ;
3, black coffee, when  the diluted vinegar  does not  agree, and the patient
complains of chilliness; 4, a  few drops of good wine, when great heat and
debility set  in.
   The vapors of coal are  antidoted by : 1,  water and vinegar, and after
return of consciousness ;  2,  by a few doses of Opium ; or, 3, Bell, if Op.

  For sprains, luxations, etc., give: Arn., ten drops of the tincture in a tum-
blerful of water, before and after  the necessary manual operations, such as
reduction of  the dislocation, etc.   If the contusion  or luxation should be
very bad, Am.30 may likewise be given internally; and if no result should
have been obtained in twenty-four hours, Rhus t, one dose, allowing it to
act until an improvement takes  place.  A  second  dose  of Rhus may be
given after the first ceases to act; or, if a pain should occasionally be expe-
rienced in the sprained joint, Amm , Ruta, should be resorted to ; or, Agn.,

 ALJLEN, DR. TIMOTHY F.  The Encyclopedia of Pure Ma-
    teria Medica; a Record of the Positive Effects of Drugs
    upon the Healthy Human Organism.  With contributions from
    Dr. Richard Hughes,  of England;  Dr. C. Hering, of Philadelphia; Dr.
    Carroll Dunham, of New York ; Dr. Adolph Lippe, of Philadelphia, and
    others.  Ten volumes.  Half morocco or sheep, $70.00. Cloth, .  .  $60.00
    This Encyclopedia of Materia Medica, which is beyond question the most
 complete and extensive ever  attempted  in any country or language, is truly
 worthy of its name; for it is a work to which the homoeopathic practitioner can
 turn with the certainty of finding the whole pathogenetic record of every remedy
 ever used in Homoeopathy.  Pages could  be filled with notices from the medical
 press in acknowledgment and appreciation of its great value.
    " A glance at it is sufficient to show the student of materia medica the treasures it brings
 to hand.  .  .  .  There is abundance of fresh material for the physiological knowledge
 of Belladonna, Bismuth, Cannabis [etc.].  . .  . Here is for the first time a full  and in-
 telligible pathogenesis of Bromine, of Cannuhis Jndica, and of Carbolic Acid.  .  .  .  The
 gift is invaluable.  We can but again tender *o Dr. Allen our grateful appreciation of his
 labors."—Review of Vol. Ilin the British Journal of Homoeopathy.
    '' With the Volumes IX and X now before us Allen's Encyclopedia  op Puke
 Materia Medica U completed. It comprises  all remedies proved or applied by Homoeo-
 paths.  With truly wonderful diligence everything has been carefully collated from the
 whole medical literature that could be put under contribution to Homoeopathy, thus enabling

ALLEN, DR. TIMOTHY F. A General Symptom Register of
     the Homoeopathic Materia Medica.  Pp. 1,331.   Large 8vo.
     Half morocco or sheep, $14.00; Cloth,............$12.00

     This Index was urgently called for long before the  Encyclopedia was com
pie ted, and no  more convincing proof of its practical value could be adduced.
It need only be added that the author's promise to furnish the best arranged  and
most complete repertory ever attempted is more than fulfilled.  The ingenious
selection and arrangement of type greatly facilitates its use.
    " The arrangement of this Symptom Register is simple enough to make the work
readily available, and, judging from a few experimental trials, we are led to deem it an
exhaustive Index of the majority of the symptoms of the Encyclopedia . .  . Dr. Allen has
fitly crowned his long and arduous labor, and  placed us all under obligations that we can
never repay."—The American  Observer.
    " Every scientific practitioner in the world will heartily thank the indefatigable author
for crowning his pharmaco-encyclopedic edilice  so promptly with a workable repertorial
index.  The thing we are most thankful for  is that the arrangement is strictly alphabetical.
First, the part affected; second, the sensation, conditioned or modified.   No fads or
fancies, theories or hypotheses. Of course, everybody has a copy of the Encyclopedia, and
now everybody will get a copy of the Index.   We cannot pretend to review such a work.
It bears every mark of care, capability, and conscientiousness, and to hunt about for specks
of dirt on such a grand picture is not the kind of work  for us.  The only piece of advice
we offer to intending purchasers is that they ask for it bound in leather, for common cloth
binding, no matter how nice to the eye, soon begins to  tear at the back, and  becomes the
source of endless  annoyance.  This applies, of course, to a work  for frequent reference, and
Allen's 'Index'  is practically a dictionary to his Encyclopedia, and as such  will be  used
many times a day."—From  the Homoeopathic World.

     We give a letter of Timothy F. Allen, M. D., recommending the publica-
tion of  this little work :
    " I have carefully examined the repertory of Dr. Win. Allen, of Flushing, and assure
you that it is exceedingly valuable. It should be printed in pocket form.  I should use it
constantly.  Dr.  Allen has a large experience in the  treatment of intermittents,  and hia
own observations are entitled to great respect."
    ..." Urged by other practitioners, he now offers to us [in the Eepertory before us]
the priceless fruits of his  labors, and its daily use shall  be our thank-offering.  May it
fulfill his and our own expectations."—North American Journal of Homoeopathy.

ALLEN, DR. H. C. The Therapeutics of Intermittent Fever.
    By H. C. Allen, M. D., of the University of Michigan.  Second edition,
    revised and enlarged.   Pp. 342.  8vo.  Cloth,.........$2.75
    This is the Second Edition of tbe author's work, which originally appeared
in 1879, found a rapid sale and met with a hearty reception from the pro-
fession.  It has been very carefully revised, and to meet an evident demand to
the bracketed comparison of the former edition have been added some leading
characteristics of each remedy, and a complete repertory.  In advance of  the
malarial season, the homoeopathic practitioner can furnish himself with no bet-
ter or more indispensable guide than this excellent monograph, as the following
quotations will testify:
    " And now, is it too much to say that with  its full Materia Medica, its comparisons,
clinical illustrations, and repertory, all in good type, it is the best work on the subject that
has ever been issued ?"—A. F.  Randall, 31. D., in Investigator.
    " This  work is a necessity where one has to cope with that often most  discouraging of
all diseases, and its careful study may insure success.  You are not complete without it."—
The Regular Physician.

ARNDT, DR. H. R.   A System of Medicine, based upon the
    Law of Homoeopathy. In three volumes, royal octavo.  Vol. 1,960
    pages; vol. II, 900 pages; vol. Ill, 990 pages.  Price per volume, bound
    in  half morocco or sheep, $8.50; the complete work, $25.50.   Price,  per
    volume,  bound in cloth, $7.50; the complete work,  .......$22.50
    This  great work has been received with unqualified  praise both in Europe
and America, and has been  unhesitatingly pronounced the most exhaustive work
of its kiud in homoeopathic literature.  It is gratifying  to see that the result
of so much  labor, the  combined effort of so many of the best minds in  our
school has not been lost upon the profession : it is now clearly demonstrated
that "A Sydem of Medicine, Based upon  the  Law of Homeopathy" will long
remain  a  standard work.in the homoeopathic school of medicine.   The large
demand for the work is especially encouraging, showing how many physicians
realize that the books which are universally applauded are books to be bought
and studied, or there will be no progress.
    The contents of the several volumes are as follows:
    Vol. I.—General Introduction—Chapter on Physical Diagnosis—Diseases
of the Respiratory Organs—Diseases of the Organs of Circulation—Diseases of
the Organs of Digestion.
    Vol. II.—Diseases of  Blood-Glandular System—Diseases of Urinary  Or-
gans__Diseases of the  Genital  and  Reproductive Organs—Diseases of  the
Nervous System—Diseases  of the Organs  of Locomotion.
    Vol.  III.—Diseases  of the  Skin,  of the Eye and Ear—Constitutional
Diseases.

    "Arndt's book is a great success.  We shall  advise it to our students in preference to
any other system of practice." —From a letter written by Dr. T. F. Allen.
    "The work, if Vol. I is a sample, is creditable to the numerous contributors, to its
editor, and to the publisher.  The text is clearly rendered, is concise, and, so far as our
reading shows, up to date in symptomatology, diagnosis, and pathology.
    " In regard to  paper, printing, and binding, we desire to  thank our industrious and
pains-taking publisher for offering such a perfect book.  Printed with virgin type, on ex-
cellent paper, the book vies with, if it does not excel, any previous effort of any publishing
house."'—Hahnemannian Monthly.
    " Whatever opinions one may have upon the contested points of homoeopathic practice,
whetiier he be a loose  prescriber or a strict Hahnemannian, he cannot fail to be proud of
the handsome volume which  Dr. Arndt here presents to his fellow practitioners.
    "It is a volume which, in extent and completeness, exceeds and excels anything of its
kind yet published. .  . ■
    " The best portion  of the volume, to our mind, is the chapter on diseases of  the organs
of digestion.  This is worth the price of the volume."—The Homeopathic Physician.
    "This great work will be to the homoeopathic school what Reynold's System  of Medicine
and Ziemssen's Encyclopedia of Medicine is to  the allopathic.  The  homoeopathic system of
practice has never  been represented, in this country at least, by a text-book  on general
practice which met the wants of  that school.  They have been deficient  in the etiology,
pathology, and diagnosis of disease.  But this work is  very complete in these respects, and
is fully up to the requirements of the condition  of medical science of to-day.  Every disease
treated of in this volume is  written up in the most exhaustive manner.  The therapeutics
of each disease is concise, plain, and not incumbered with that amount of  symptomatology
which has  been a  great fault of homoeopathic works  on practice.  The characteristic or
guiding symptoms are alone given, greatly increasing the value of the work. . .   . —Chicago

    "The descriptions of disease—no  easy thing to write—are  always clear and full,  some
times felicitous.  The style is easy and readable, and not too prolix.   Above all, the rela-
tions of maladies to medicines are studied no less philosophically than experimentally, with
an avoidance of abstract theorizing on one side,  and of mere empiricism on the other, which
is most satisfactory."—From the British Journal of Homoeopathy.

    "This little book, issued in 1869 by Dr. Bell, has long been a standard work in Homoe-
opathic Therapeutics.  We feel quite within bounds in asserting that it has been the means
under our law of saving thousands of lives.  Than this no greater commendation could be
penned.....In this second edition, Dr. Bell  has been assisted by Dr.  Laird, of
Maine; also by Drs. Lippe, William P. Wesselhoeft, and E. A. Farrington.  Thirty-eight
new remedies are given; the old text largely rewritten ; many rubrics added to the reper-
tory;  a new feature, the'black type,' for especially characteristic symptoms, introduced.
    " This is a typical homoeopathic work, which no homoeopathic physician can afford to
be without.  The typographical setting is  worthy of  the book."— From the Homceopathic
Physician.

     This  valuable little book, compiled  from the results of the experience of
the best homceopathic  authorities, by Dr. Berjeau, of London, in 1856,  has
since been revised and enlarged by J. H. P. Frost, M. D., and is now perhaps
the best and most concise presentation of the subject to be had.
    " This work is unmistakably the production of a practical man.  It is short, pithy, and
contains a vast deal of sound practical instruction. The diseases are briefly described ; the
directions for treatment are succinct and summary.  It is a book which might with profit
be consulted by all practitioners of homoeopathy."—North American Journal.

     This  is  the  most recent  and  most  complete of all the works on  the
Schiissler Remedies.   Its  superiority to  previous  books  on  the subject is
attested by its rapid sale and the wide attention it has attracted.

    " This work is not a padded reprint of Schiissler's Therapy, nor a mere compilation from
the journals of additional cures by the Tissue Remedies; but is, in large part, original work,
with the materials presented by Schiissler.  The section on 'The Relations of the Biochemic
(Schiissler's word) to the Homoeopathic Treatment,'  although short, is  one of the most
instructive we have read for a long time."—Dr. J. T. O'Connor in Homxopathic Recorder.
    " The rapid strides which the use of the Tissue Remedies of Schiissler has made in the
homoeopathic profession since their introduction, entitles this book to the closest attention.
It is by far the most comprehensive and the fullest in every particular yet published on this
subject."—The Homoeopathic News.

    " The work is systematically arranged, the main point being devoted to the therapeu-

which is added a carefully prepared repertory, which embraces every characteristic of the
Twelve Remedies."—The Medical Visitor.

     This interesting work on a subject which has been the " Opprobium Med-
icorum " for generations past, has met with a favorable reception at  the hands
of the profession.   It is a scholarly work and treats its subject from the stand-
point of pure Homoeopathy.
    "Our author's work must be pronounced as decidedly able, and its principal defects
are those of the  subject itself in its present  state of development.  In our opinion the
whole question is still  involved in too much doubt and difficulty to  admit of its  being
handled very lucidly at present. Dr. Brigham tries very hard  to clear the deck of all no-
tions that might be in the way of handling the subject scientifically, but he does not quite
succeed even in defining clearly one single form of phthisis.  Why ? Because in the present
state of the subject it is impossible for any man to do so, and we question whether a  much
better book on phthisis is possible at present."—From the Homceopathic World.

    Dr. Burnett's essays were so  favorably received  in this country that
they would undoubtedly have commauded a very large sale, had they not been
so high in price.   As it was, the six essays would have  cost over five dollars,
and in order to bring  them within reach of the many we reprinted them, by
special  arrangement  with the author, who  contributed a new essay, " The
Causes of Cataract," not hitherto published, and a general introduction to the

    " We have nothing to add in hearty commendation of this work to our notice of the first
edition.  ... It is undoubtedly the best book on uterine surgery, and  the only scientific
one on electro-therapeutics  now before the public."—The Homoeopathic Times.
    " Among the many works extant on Medical Electricity, we have seen nothing that comes
bo near ' filling the bill' as this.   The book is sufficiently comprehensive for the student or
the practitioner.  The fact that it is written by an enthusiastic and very intelligent homce-
opathist, gives to it additional value.  It places electricity on the same basis as other drugs,
and points out by specific symptoms when the agent is indicated.  The use of electricity is,
therefore clearly no longer an exception to the law of similia, but acts curatively only when
used in accordance with that law.  We are not left to conjecture and doubt, but can clearly
see the specific indications of the agent  in the disease we have under observation. The
author has done the profession an invaluable service in thus making plain the pathogenesis
of this wonderful agent.  The reader will find no difficulty in following both the pathology

and treatment of the cases described.  Electricity is not held up as the cure-all of disease,
but is shown to be one of the most important and valuable of remedial agents when used in
an intelligent manner.  We have seen  no work which we can so  heartily recommend aa
this."—Cincinnati Medical Advance.

     The  object  of this book  is to  furnish  the homoeopathic  physician and

Materia Medica and  Therapeutics.   The one hundred  and ninety-seven drugs
presented are those  most commonly used.

remedies."—New York Medical Times.

    "It  would be difficult to  choose between Guernsey's  'Keynotes'  and Cleveland's
'Salient  Materia Medica.'   Both are of pocket size;  both are quite  reliable.  They will
scarcely  take the place of Johnson's ' Key' in the pockets of the students.  They ought not
to replace  a full symptomatology on  the  table of a physician, and still  they refresh our
minds, and will serve as companions in studying larger works.  The truth is that Cleveland
contains  much  that Guernsey lacks and vice versa;  one  needs them both."— * * * in

    " Every homceopathic physician and undergraduate should be owner of a copy of this
 wonderful work, should read it very carefully and often, and ponder over its contents.  Our
 word for it, gentlemen, you will be the better for it as physicians and homoeopathists, and

 Hahnemann sheds a perfect flood of light which renders them so bright and well denned,
 that even he who runs may read.

 as his translator Dr. Conrad Wesselhoeft, of Boston, an educated physician in every respect
 and from his  youth up  perfectly familiar with the English and German languages, than
 whom no better selection  could  have been  made.  That he has made, as he himself de-
 clares, 'an entirely new and independent translation of the whole work,' a careful compar-
 ison of the various paragraphs, notes, etc., with  those contained in previous editions gives
 abundant evidence; and while he has, so far as possible, adhered  strictly to the  letter of
 Hahnemann's text, he has at the same time given a pleasantly flowing rendition that avoids
 the harshness of a strictly literal translation."—Hahnemannian Monthly.

and those which  they have been observed to cure, are separated from the clinical observa-
tions, by which the former have been confirmed.  That this volume contains a very large
amount of invaluable information is incontestable, and that every effort has been  made to
secure both fullness of detail and accuracy of statement is apparent  throughout.  For these

     Whether he like it or not, every doctor will at some time be called upon to
do a little surgery,  in view of which no homoeopathic physician can afford to be
without Dr. Helmuth's great work, which is admirably adapted to the needs of

we would remind that  surgery of to-day is not what it was ten years  ago, and
the difference between the preceding and our author's present edition is one of
great importance.
     The work  has for  many years been used as  a standard text-book in all

for student or practitioner to invest in allopathic works on the subject ceased to
exist, and now  that this new fifth edition, which  is up to date, abounding in
valuable  hints, and giving the  results of the author's ripe and  extensive ex-
perience in homoeopathic  medication in connection with surgery—now that all
this, in our author's forceful, elegant diction is placed  before the  profession, it.
is certainly to be doubted  if a work better adapted to  the needs of the practi-
tioner can be found anywhere.
    " We gladly welcome the fifth edition of this standard work, without which no homoeo-
pathic physician can consider his library complete. The author has succeeded in his endeavor
to make it ' an exponent of the surgery of the present,'  and a volume suited alike to the
requirements of student and surgeon; moreover, it is written in so interesting a manner
that its perusal  is a matter of pleasure as well as profit."—B. W.  J., in the  Hahnemannian

    " Here is a handsome folio volume, beautifully bound in gray muslin, with red edges,
fine paper, handsome type, illustrated by artistic lithographic plates and numerous wood-
.cuts, that at once attracts the eye of the lover of books.  The name of the author is a cer-
tain guarantee of its literary and scientific value. . .  . The book commends itself, not so
much on account of the thoroughness with which it  has been  prepared, as from the fact
that it is a masterly plea for a form of operation that it would seem has long been unjustly
under the ban of surgical censure. ... In this bold and original  work Helmuth has
opened up a new field for study, ably and abundantly fortified his positions, and given en-
couragement for the hope that even the low ratio of mortality from lithotomy operations
that modern methods have secured, will in the future be still further reduced."—Medical
Counselor.

    "Dr. Helmuth is well known as a skillful, bold, and successful  operator. .  . . The
work redounds greatly to his honor on account of its highly scientific character. .  .  . We
are proud to find that our homoeopathic school has contributed such a valuable treatise to
surgery, and trust it will receive the attention it merits."—British Journal of Homoeopathy.

      Having stood the test of time, this well-known and standard work on Con-
 densed Materia Medica needs no flattering array of press notices to recommend
 it anew to the rising homceopathic profession.   We need only call attention to
 the work done by the able editor in his revision of the  text for this, the third
 edition, and to this end we quote from his preface:
     " In the preparation of this . .  . edition .  .  . additions have been made, and a fe*
 (typographical errors corrected, but, in justice to the lamented author, no alterations have
 ,been made in the substance of the text as he left it.
     " More than twenty new remedies, arranged after the plan of the book, are given in
 Jull, and over forty partially proved drugs, with brief but distinctive indications, are added
 ,to the sections  on ' Eelationship.'  Besides all this, about six  hundred choice and well-
 .attested symptoms have beCn incorporated  in their proper place in the text.  All the  late
 works have been  drawn upon for  the new material, and even private sources have been
 unsparingly taxed; but still, great caution has been used in making selections.  The plans
 and purposes of the work demand clinical as well as  pathogenetic symptoms.  But of the
 former sort only those have been employed which agree with the provings, and which show
 every evidence  of genuineness.  Such discrimination demands the exercise of one's best
 judgment and the expenditure of much time.  But it is believed the benefits to be derived
 far outweigh the trouble.  The book is now offered to the profession and to students, not as
 a rival of other  works, but as a rich  treasury full of information common to homceopathic
 literature, and also of gleanings  from the vast collection which Dr. Hering made during  a
 busy half century of medical study and labor."*

      The present  editor, Claude  R.  Norton, M.D., a former assistant of Dr.

    " In the country or in a locality where no good  homoeopathist lives, this book is in-
 valuable.  As a  case in point, we remember hearing of a lady who prescribed for her mother

dully studied the case, gave the remedy and in the morning the two regulars were very much
 surprised to see the improvement "—The Homceopathic Physician.

    The first volume, containing the symptomatology, gives the complete patho-
genesis of two hundred and eighty-seven remedies, besides a largo number of
new remedies  added by Dr. Hempel  in the  appendix.  The  second volume
contains an admirably arrauged Repertory.   Each chapter is accompanied by
copious clinical remarks and the concomitant  symptoms of the chief remedies;
for the malady treated of, thus imparting a mass  of information and rendering
the work indispensable to every student and practitioner of medicine.

   " With this characteristically long  title, the veteran and indefatigable Jahr gives us
another volume of homoeopathies.  Besides the explanation of its purport contained in the
title itself, the author's preface still further sets forth its distinctive aim.  It is intended, he
says as a 'guide to beginners, where I only indicate the most important and decisive points
for the selection of  a remedy, and where I do not offer anything but what my own individual
experience, during  a practice of forty years, has enabled me  to verify as absolutely decisive
in choosing the proper remedy.  The reader will easily comprehend that, in  carrying out
this plan, I had rigidly to exclude all cases concerning whicli I had no experience of my own
to offer.'  . .  .  We are bound to say that the book  itself is  agreeable, chatty, and  full of
practical observation.   It may be read straight through with interest, and referred to in the
treatment of  particular cases with advantage."—British Journal of Homoeopathy.

     Again we have the pleasure of announcing a new edition of the above,
which, since its first appearance, has been a leading work of reference  for the
clinical student and busy practitioner of the homceopathic  school.  Notwith-
standing the many editions through which it has passed, there  is still a de-
mand for the book; and each time it appears, it is found laden with newer and
more valuable material.   In  this edition the author has reproduced the Com-
parative Materia Medica, which was omitted  in the  previous.  This will no
doubt  be very acceptable  to many, as  its nonappearance in the last  edition
gave rise to expression of disappointment from various  quarters.  Besides this,
the author has introduced other new matter and further indications for  the use
of remedies, which makes the book still  more desirable.
    " This is a wonderful  little book, that seems to contain nearly everything pertaining to
the practice of physic; and all neatly epitomized, so that the book may be  carried very com-
fortably in the pocket, to serve as a source for a refresher in a case of need.
    "It is a marvel to us how the author has contrived to put into 347 pages such a vast
amount of information, and all of the very kind that is needed. No wonder it is in its
tenth edition.—Homoeopathic World,  London—notice of tenth edition.

ably known author has surpassed himself.   In this  book fifty-six remedies are
introduced for internal application, and four for external use.  The work con-
sists of two parts.   Part I is subdivided into seventeen chapters, each  being de-
voted to a special  part of the body, or to a peculiar class of disease.  Part  II
contains a short and concise Materia  Medica.  The whole is carefully written
with a view of avoiding technical terms as much as possible, thus insuring  its
comprehension  by any person of ordinary intelligence.
    "Family Guides are often of great service, not only in enabling individuals to  re-
lieve the trifling maladies of such frequent occurrence in every family, but in  the graver
forms of disease, by prompt action to prepare the way for the riper intelligence of the phy-
sician.

    " We do not hesitate to indorse the claims made by the publishers, that  this is the
most complete, clear, and comprehensive treatise on the domestic homceopathic treatment
of disease extant.  This handsome volume of nearly eleven hundred pages is divided into
six  parts.  Part  I is introductory, and is almost  faultless.  It gives the most complete
and exact directions for the maintenance of health, and of the method of investigating the
condition of the sick, and of discriminating between different diseases.  It is written in the
most lucid style, and is, above all things, wonderfully free from technicalities. Part II
treats of symptoms, character, distinctions, and treatment of general diseases, together with
a chapter on casualties. Part III takes up diseases peculiar to women.  Part IV is devoted
to the disorders  of infancy and childhood.  Part V gives the characteristic symptoms of
the medicines referred to in the body of the work, while Part VI introduces the repertory."

    " 1.  It furnishes us with the most essential head symptoms of the Materia Medica.  2.
It gives the confirmation of these, as well as other symptoms, from the experience of an ex-
tensive practice covering a period of fifty years.   3.  To these are added the concomitants  in
other parts of the body, produced by the same  remedy, and the conditions under which
these symptoms are aggravated or ameliorated.  It is the author's experience that if the
symptoms of the head are most similar to any remedy, this remedy is also most  efficacious
to the corresponding symptoms in other parts of the body.  4. The different parts of the
head affected are divided and classified in different chapters, for the purpose of affording
easy  reference to the student or practitioner.  To all of them the concomitants and condi-
tions are appended."—New York Medical Times.

   " The people, and especially the women, need enlightening on many points connected
with their physical life, and the time is fast approaching when it will no longer be thought
singular or ' Yankeeish' that a woman should be instructed  in regard to her sexuality, its
organs and their functions. .  . . Dr. Verdi is doing a good work in writing such books,
and we trust he will continue in the course he has adopted of educating the mothers and
daughters. The book is handsomely presented.  It is printed in good type on fine paper^

    "It would ill become a non-specialist to pass judgment upon the intrinsic merits of
Dr. Y\ inslow's book, but even a general reader of medicine can see in it an author who  has
a firm grasp and an intelligent apprehension of his subject.  There is about it an air of self-
reliant confidence which, when not  offensive, can come only from a consciousness of know-
ing the matter in hand, and we have never read a medical work which would more quickly
lead us to give its author our confidence in his ministrations.  This is always the conse-
quence of honest and earnest and inclusive scholarship, and this author is entitled to  his
meed."—Dr. S. A. Jones in American Observer.

WINTERBURN, DR. GEO. W.   The Value of Vaccination:

     bound in cloth,......................$0.75
     The MS. of this little  work  was placed  in the hands of two physicians
directly opposed  on the question of vaccination.   The first, who was in agree-
ment with the position taken  by the author, pronounced it a most  interest-
ing and exhaustive treatise; the second, while he did not assent  to the con-
clusions drawn, declared it to be a scholarly effort, and  one  that would  be
read with interest by  many in the profession—"Not  a dull  page in it,"  he
said.   Such comment from two physicians of  opposite  views on this question
is proof that the book is well  worthy of the  attention of those interested in
the subject.

WORCESTER, DR. S.  Insanity and its  Treatment.   Lec-
     tures  on the Treatment of  Insanity and Kindred Nervous Diseases.  By
     Samuel Worcester, M. D.   Pp.262.  8vo.  Cloth,......$3.50
     Dr. Worcester was for a number of years assistant physician of the But-
ler Hospital for the Insane, at Providence, R. I., and was appointed shortly
after as Lecturer on  Insanity and Nervous Diseases to the Boston University
School of Medicine.  This work, comprising nearly five hundred pages, will
be welcomed by every homoeopathic practitioner, for every  physician is called
upon sooner or later to undertake the treatment of cases  of insanity among
his patrons'  families, inasmuch  as  very many  are loth  to deliver any afflicted
member to  a public institution without  having  first  exhausted all means 
26               Standard  Homceopathic Publications.


within their  power  to  effect a cure, and the family physician naturally is the
first to be put in charge of the case.   It is, therefore, of paramount importance
that every  homceopathic practitioner's  library should contain such an indis-
pensable work.
    " The basis of Dr. Worcester's work was a course of lectures delivered before the senior
students of the Boston University School of Medicine.  As now presented, with some alter-
ations and additions, it makes a  very excellent text-book for students  and practitioners.
Dr. Worcester has drawn very largely upon standard authorities and his own experience,
which has not been  small.  In the direction of homceopathic treatment he has received
valuable assistance from Drs. Talcott and Butler, of the New York State Asylum.  It is
not, nor does it pretend to  be, an exhaustive work ;  but, as a well-digested summary of our
present knowledge of insanity, we feel sure  that it will  give satisfaction.  We cordially
recommend it."—New England Medical Gazette.
